I am trying to send my daughter an email but yahoo is asking me to verify a character string, how do I adjust my computer so that I can read the string? (Have not been with yahoo long, used to have virgin but not available now we are in Turkey,not liking yahoo very much!)

New one on me. Can you send a blank email or one with very basic text? If so then it may be something in the text you are sending and it thinks it some sort attack. Make a screenshot and post it on here.

Is it a valid email string?

I used to have Yahoo, its crap !
best thing you can do is open a hotmail account. much easier, free and will be there for you no matter where you are.
Hotmail.com

Gmail is very good too. Especially in Turkey.

its a security thing to prevent spam but I think the problem is that our computer is not set up to display the characters.

Germaine we are thinking of changing our email provider,we have had hotmail before and got a lot of unwanted junk mail - thats why we changed to virgin

first thing to do is go into control panel and add the Turkish Language to your operating system - its under Regional Settings > Languages.

Im using a cut down version if XP at the moment so cant fugure out how to get the turkish characters up though, if I recall though there should be something in your Taskbar that allows you to toggle between English/Turkish language.

Its been updated quite a bit recently to deal with junk mail. after choosing the option to transfer junkmail to 'junkmail inbox' I dont really get any.
but then my 2 favorite moto's are... 'if its free, its for me' and 'owt for nowt'
